1] In theory, yes, you can make BRI work like DID (or DDI, as they're known pretty much outside the US). I hope you have better luck than I did getting my LEC to provision it. My telco said the same thing. You are also counting on the Pana being able to understand a DID-type service on BRI ports--many switches aren't programmed to use BRI's in this way (I can't speak for the Panasonic specifically).
2] AFAIK, you should still be able to use the loop start trunk ports. 3] Does the KXTD do LCR at all? Trunk groups, yes. LCR, I don't know (I don't work on the KXTD much at all). 4] Sorry. No clue on this one. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andrea Coppini Sent: Thursday, December 25, 2003 5:54 PM To: 'KXT' Subject: KX-T: ISDN Hi List, I currently run a KXTD1232 with 32(D)+32(A) extension ports (almost maxed out) and 8 analogue trunks (maxed). I will be switching 7 of the 8 analogues to 4x ISDN BRI lines, which will give me 8 BRI channels. My questions are: 1> will I be able to use DDI using the 4 BRI lines? I would like to 1> have each and every extension directly accessible from the outside world (eg. Ext. 213 can be called directly using +3562244 213, ext. 320 using +3562244 320, etc.). I know it can be done with a PRI, but are there limitations using BRI? The telco says they have no problem doing this from their end. 2> will I still be able to use the 7 unused analogue ports? I'd like 2> to use them to put in a Net2Phone (or similar) VoIP gateway. 3> will I be able to do LCR using both ISDN and analogue ports (eg. For international calls, try to use Net2Phone GW on analogue trunks, if it fails, use ISDN.) 4> Will I be able to manage all aspects of the ISDN ports using the 4> KXTD Programmator software? Thanks for all your help.
